Siemens Nixdorf PCD-4ND and PCD-5ND notebooks of similar designs. These are nice pieces of old equipment having a 4.86 or Pentium processor, a Sound Blaster compatible sound card, Cirrus video with a 640x480 color display, with no fan at all. They are quite good for most of old DOS games and stuff.

Siemens Nixdorf PCD-4ND running Commander Keen 4. Both of the machines pictured are functional in the time of writing, although I only have one floppy unit which actually works. It was enough to bootstrap them to start transferring stuff using an RS-232 cable.

Audio and video support for the Siemens Nixdorf PCD-4ND. Neat and tidy, and most importantly, an original OPL3 chip is laying in the middle. The sound solution is natively Sound Blaster compatible in this laptop, no drivers needed.

Siemens Nixdorf PCD-4ND HDD compartment. The compartment is to be found in the middle of the underside, two screws at the front of the laptop holds it in place. Removing those you can flip it up like on the picture and replace the hard drive by removing the IDE connector carefully using a flat screwdriver.

Siemens Nixdorf PCD-4ND expansion RAM in it's socket. It is 16Mb, giving a total of 20 megs to the system. Removing it is necessary if one wants to disassemble the laptop, otherwise leave it rest. On some models the compartment's cover is thinner and the socket hold the RAM really tight! Be careful when removing.

Signal from the Sky album cover art, for David K. Newton. This is my first real commission work, started from his sketches, and dreamed further after his tunes then upcoming under the title Signal from the Sky!

This large digital image was drawn for more than two months until it was completed (Or better to say I thought there is no much to do with it any more). It is one of my better pieces although it suffers some coloring problems. The theme would be an abandoned city on Earth, with cheetaans wandering around seeking for the sunshine. This is a part of the "original" cheetaan story, that is the story of the first interstellar war between human and cheetaan.

Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus reconstruction (at least an attempt at it), as of 2015 knowledge: the Ibrahim et al. papers from 2014 and the later adjustments on the hindlimb size, discarding the quadrupedal stance. Fleshed out according to some own ideas as well as various existing knowledge on the animal.

What happens when something gets me really inspired in the process... (Click the image to get it in 1920x1200) You could also check out the related article for the backgrounds and some research over airworthiness. Enjoy!

Flight of a Dragon is a retro game for the Uzebox open source game console, a bit of 8 bit madness involving an ATMega 644 and a bit of electronics to get it producing a video signal and accepting input from an SNES controller. Thanks to emulation, you may also try it out within your browser!

An European Green Lizard in the hills above Budapest, Hungary. Spring came, so the insects started crawling out from their winter hideouts, and then that's the start of the game for the lower hunters of the food chain, the lizards. It took a while to get this one, about a hour of waiting the thing to come off from a thorny bush where it hid, but it did worth!

The summer started with a beautiful passing storm at sunset at my location, a rare and amazing sight. As I realized what was going on, I rushed out quickly grabbing my old Olympus C2500L camera to witness and photograph this phenomenon...

Title screen plan for the Cheetaan Legacy game. It might need some color adjustments (There is a dark red color which might be invisible on some displays) which I might do at a later time editing this graphics further. The problem is mainly that my monitor has a really weird color space at darker color levels.

In July, 2015 we made a trip to Northern Hungary with a friend, namely the hills of Aggtelek. I dusted off my old Olympus C2500 camera for it, a little miracle by itself: it survived, and the photos turned out to be quite worthwhile! Apart from the famous caves, there are no serious mentions in this region, however beauty not always comes advertised!

Website design for my content used in 2011 and early 2012. This was a dynamic width design created to work with Drupal 7 (The screenshot shows just the static part before implementing it as a Drupal theme). I had two mayor problems with this design: For one it took not too much to feel it just too egocentric for that cheetah with a beard (I have beard), and for one technically the dynamic width solution had some important problems.

Ice formations in the cave "Kecskelyuk" in the Bükk mountains, Hungary, near the city of Miskolc. Usually winters are not too cold in Hungary, rarely getting temperatures below zero in the afternoons. Sometimes however for short periods extreme colds may settle in here for a few weeks which may be ideal for getting such ice formations in these water-rich limestone mountains.

Probably one of the most condensed scenery possible on the cheetaan homeworld before the wars. A huge gas-giant, exomoons, a gargantuan creature resembling a tiger, a cheetah riding a feathered wyvern over crystalline buildings scattered in a swamp, anything missing?

We are European. A quick image sketched up portraying myself in the protests of April, 2017, Hungary, protesting against the actions of the government leading Hungary out of Europe and humanity itself, back to the dark ages. An now I have a flag of the European Union!
